lyrics

Long lines pour out the station
With flags and banners they wind their way between
Parked cars in loose formation
To the only place that I really ever want to be

Long strides, the wide-eyed child in me
Darts eagerly, draped in white and blue,
Light towers, high like heaven
Over where we’re heading, it’s all I ever want to do

And we’re late, and we’re cheap
So we’ll fight for a seat
With a terrible view
It’s all I ever want to do

Bright kids in bright fluorescents
Sell Football Records to old folks passing through
Who mark the score all season for no good reason
It’s all they ever want to do

These days things are changing
And women are playing, and fathers tell that to
Young girls with painted faces
Who could take their places if it’s what they ever want to do

And we’ll stay out here
With our mid-strength beer
‘Cause I’m not in a suit
And it’s all I ever want to do
